‘Many of the maps [in ‘Bowles’s Universal Atlas’], although of large folio size, are prefixed in the titles as ‘Bowles’s New Pocket Map of …’ and were presumably issued additionally in folded format’ (Shirley). This fine chart of the northern Atlantic waters displays the usual courses of the Spanish flotilla and commercial vessels to Boston, New York, Carolina and Virginia. The ‘XIII United States’ are identified. Shirley BL T.Bowl-2a no. 36.
